Meanwhile, over 12,000 imported vehicles are currently trapped at the ports as a result of the ongoing strike action embarked upon by clearing agents over the e-valuation policy introduced recently by the Central Bank of Nigeria and the Nigeria Customs Service.


Last week, freight forwarders operating at both the Tin-Can Island as
well as the Ports and Terminal Multipurpose Limited commands of the
Customs began an indefinite strike following the expiration of a 72-hour
ultimatum given to the Federal Government to review its electronic
valuation system for imported vehicles and cargoes.


According to reports, the trapped vehicles incurred about N600m in
demurrages and other charges.
